The color-changing property of thermochromic photovoltaic glass significantly impacts its energy-generating capabilities. When the glass warms up and changes color, it not only reduces glare and solar heating but also forms a functioning solar cell that generates electricity. This transformation is facilitated by perovskites embedded in the glass, which rearrange into different structures as they change color, enabling electricity generation. The new generation of these windows can switch between multiple colors, improving aesthetic flexibility and potentially enhancing energy efficiency by adapting to different environmental conditions. However, the efficiency of converting sunlight into electricity remains a focus of ongoing research.
